ELECTROCHEMISTRY: A WIDE RANGE OF APPLICATIONS

Fundamental electrochemistry

Fundamental research runs the gamut of electrochemical test cells and techniques, with experimental requirements continuously evolving. Flexible and customizable test equip-ment allows for a range of systems to fit the specific needs of each researcher.

Renewable energy sources

Energy Storage and Energy Conversion devices are both used to fill the need for por-table as well as renewable power. Specific technologies are batteries, capacitors, fuel cells and solar cells. In commercial devices, these are often used in combination as part of a power system.

The evolving need requires the improvement in capability to provide pulse-power, longrun-time and cycle life.

Corrosion

Corrosion affects the oil company that is pumping hot crude through miles of pipelines, the military that spends billions of Euros on ships and aircraft that spend their entire ac-tive life at sea, the civil engineer designing rebar support for the concrete in bridges, the automobile industry looking at the effects of road salts or galvanic couples, and the bio-material scientist developing medical stints and joint replacements that are implanted into people in hospitals every day. Corrosion is a real world problem, the effects of which should be considered any time a metal is put into service in a salty, humid environment.

Sensors/Nanotechnology

In the field of electrochemistry, nanotechnology has led to an entire new class of elec-trodes, from nanostructured carbons including nanotubes, nanofibers and graphene to 3D electrode arrays and nanoprobes. This new class of electrode materials has resulted in the development of nano-batteries that enhance conductivity and ion diffusion, in vivo nanosensors that exhibit improved sensitivity and nanofilms that reduce localized corrosion.

SCANNINGELECTROCHEMICAL SYSTEMS

AN ADVANCED AND FLEXIBLE PLATFORM

In general way on electrochemical experiments, the electrode response to a perturbation signal corres-ponds to a surface-averaged measurement ascribable to the behaviour of the hole electrode surface. However, electrochemical systems rarely show an ideal behaviour, and this can lead to difficulties with data interpretation. Thanks to this localized electrochemical platform, we look beyond this homogeneity to study the spatial dependence of the electrode properties. To do so, our solution includes up to 9 loca-lized measurement techniques.

VersaSCAN

The VersaSCAN is a single platform capable of providing spatial resolution to both electrochemical and materials-based measurements. Potentiostats and Signal Recovery Lock-in Amplifiers are integrated via ethernet control to make accurate measurements of these small signals. Our platform offers 9 different techniques:

• Scanning Electrochemical Microscope System (SECM and ac-SECM)• Constant Distance SECM (VS STYLUS)• Scanning Vibrating Electrode Technique (SVET)• Localized Electrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy (LEIS)• Scanning Kelvin Probe (SKP)• Scanning Droplet Cell (SDC and ac-SDC)• Optical Surface Profiling (OSP)

THE STYLUS PROBE...Unlike hard probe contact based techniques, the force of contact of a soft probe is low (approximately three orders of magnitude smaller than hard probe contact based techniques) and therefore is less likely to damage / alter the topography of the substrate during measurement. As such, this technology has successfully measured the activity of soft tissue from melanoma samples.
